Abstract
We report our recent predictions on the quantum Nernst effect, a novel thermomagnetic effect in the quantum Hall regime. We assume that, when the chemical potential is located between a pair of neighboring Landau levels, edge currents convect around the system. This yields theoretical predictions that the Nernst coefficient is strongly suppressed and the thermal conductance is quantized. The present system is a physical realization of the non-equilibrium steady state.
